Hi Michele,

200 yards for a small bag
250 yards for a large bag

Hope that helps and enjoy your crochet projects!

Hello! Just curious if anyone has an estimate of how many yards of worsted weight cotton yarn this pattern uses. Thanks!

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks so much for your input! I’ll fix the pattern for open weave, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

And I always enjoy hearing how folks make these patterns their own.

I’d love to see your picture! You can attach it to the email.

I made this crochet market bag. It came out great and will be very useful. However, I had to make a few changes to the pattern. First, I had to use a 5.5mm (size I) hook to get the correct gauge with the Sugar and Cream yarn. For the open weave part of the bag the pattern shows this as rows 7, 8-16. However, if you look at the photos, these rows are actually 7-24. To get a nice deep bag, I added an additional 4 rows (7-28). The last change I made was to the straps. As the pattern is written, the straps are pretty thin. I added one more round which is a repeat of Row 20. This gives a nice size strap. All in all, I’m really happy with how this bag turned out. I would add a photo but don’t see where this can be done.
